INTRODUCTION
Biodiversity is under threat. With recognition that our planet can no longer support our unsustainable ways, find out how you can be part of the solution in protecting precious ecosystems with our MSc Wildlife Conservation postgraduate degree.
Developed to nurture the next generation of conservation leaders, our course aims to support a move towards a sustainable future for humans and wildlife. Led by a highly qualified, research-active staff course team, you will develop knowledge and practical skills to tackle complex issues surrounding our biodiversity crisis.
EMPLOYMENT
Conservations specialists are in demand. We need more conservation biologists to solve and mitigate the problems caused by human activities that are detrimental to the survival of wildlife, such as the unsustainable forest use.
Wildlife conservation biologists work throughout the world in roles with a wide-range of institutions, from NGOs and federal agencies to universities. Typical roles include working as an active practitioner conducting research or active conservation management, providing consultancy services or leading campaign-based advocacy.
Equipped with the knowledge and skills you will develop on this course, you can choose to pursue career opportunities working with state institutions, private companies, environmental consultancies and research institutions.
You will need a relevant undergraduate degree from a subject such as biological sciences, anthropology, veterinary science, and with a minimum 2:2 (lower second class) classification award. We welcome applications from students who may not have formal/traditional entry criteria but who have relevant experience or the ability to pursue the course successfully.
